Talk 3 of a 4 day lecture series by Ma Gurupriya ji during 2018 Jamshedpur Jnana Yajna .

Date: 20 February 2018
Venue: CIRD, Jamshedpur

In this Satsang, Ma emphasizes that one must have unswerving faith in the words of the scriptures and in the words of the Guru, in the path to attain the state of peace, freedom, and fearlessness. Association of a Self-Realized knower is very important, because a Guru alone will unconditionally facilitate our spiritual progress.

A seeker must be given to introspection in spiritual practice. He must frequently assess whether he is progressing, whether there is intensity and yearning to attain the goal and whether dispassion is increasing. He must not become complacent about his progress in the spiritual path.

A Sadhaka should cultivate dispassion towards the world, by reflecting on the ephemeral nature of the world and the worldly enjoyments. He must strive to be free of the clutches of attachment and possessiveness.

Ma chants and explains verses which depict the state of mind of a realized knower who moves around freely, unaffected by any external situation. He constantly inheres in the Self, always experiencing supreme, inner bliss. For him, the wealth of the whole world holds no importance or value.
